Extraction Stage

Semantic segmentation is a significant method in remote sensing image (RSIs) processing and has been widely used in various applications. Conventional convolutional neural network (CNN)-based semantic segmentation methods are likely to lose the spatial information in the feature extraction stage and usually pay little attention to global context information. Moreover, the imbalance of category scale and uncertain boundary information meanwhile exists in RSIs, which also brings a challenging problem to the semantic segmentation task. To overcome these problems, a high-resolution context extraction network (HRCNet) based on a high-resolution network (HRNet) is proposed in this paper. In this approach, the HRNet structure is adopted to keep the spatial information. Moreover, the light-weight dual attention (LDA) module is designed to obtain global context information in the feature extraction stage and the feature enhancement feature pyramid (FEFP) structure is promoted and employed to fuse the contextual information of different scales. In addition, to achieve the boundary information, we design the boundary aware (BA) module combined with the boundary aware loss (BAloss) function. The experimental results evaluated on Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets show that the proposed approach can significantly improve the boundary and segmentation performance up to 92.0% and 92.3% on overall accuracy scores, respectively. As a consequence, it is envisaged that the proposed HRCNet model will be an advantage in remote sensing images segmentation.

Analyzing land cover using remote sensing images has broad prospects, the precise segmentation of land cover is the key to the application of this technology. Nowadays, the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is widely used in many image semantic segmentation tasks. However, existing CNN models often exhibit poor generalization ability and low segmentation accuracy when dealing with land cover segmentation tasks. To solve this problem, this paper proposes Dual Function Feature Aggregation Network (DFFAN). This method combines image context information, gathers image spatial information, and extracts and fuses features. DFFAN uses residual neural networks as backbone to obtain different dimensional feature information of remote sensing images through multiple downsamplings. This work designs Affinity Matrix Module (AMM) to obtain the context of each feature map and proposes Boundary Feature Fusion Module (BFF) to fuse the context information and spatial information of an image to determine the location distribution of each image’s category. Compared with existing methods, the proposed method is significantly improved in accuracy. Its mean intersection over union (MIoU) on the LandCover dataset reaches 84.81%.

With the resolution of remote sensing images is getting higher and higher, high-resolution remote sensing images are widely used in many areas. Among them, image information extraction is one of the basic applications of remote sensing images. In the face of massive high-resolution remote sensing image data, the traditional method of target recognition is difficult to cope with. Therefore, this paper proposes a remote sensing image extraction based on U-net network. Firstly, the U-net semantic segmentation network is used to train the training set, and the validation set is used to verify the training set at the same time, and finally the test set is used for testing. The experimental results show that U-net can be applied to the extraction of buildings.

Landslides are a type of frequent and widespread natural disaster. It is of great significance to extract location information from the landslide in time. At present, most articles still select single band or RGB bands as the feature for landslide recognition. To improve the efficiency of landslide recognition, this study proposed a remote sensing recognition method based on the convolutional neural network of the mixed spectral characteristics. Firstly, this paper tried to add NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) and NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) to enhance the features. Then, remote sensing images (predisaster and postdisaster images) with same spatial information but different time series information regarding landslide are taken directly from GF-1 satellite as input images. By combining the 4 bands (red + green + blue + near-infrared) of the prelandslide remote sensing images with the 4 bands of the postlandslide images and NDVI images, images with 9 bands were obtained, and the band values reflecting the changing characteristics of the landslide were determined. Finally, a deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) was introduced to solve the problem. The proposed method was tested and verified with remote sensing data from the 2015 large-scale landslide event in Shanxi, China, and 2016 large-scale landslide event in Fujian, China. The results showed that the accuracy of the method was high. Compared with the traditional methods, the recognition efficiency was improved, proving the effectiveness and feasibility of the method.

Semantic segmentation plays an important role in being able to understand the content of remote sensing images. In recent years, deep learning methods based on Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) have proved to be effective for the sematic segmentation of remote sensing images. However, the rich information and complex content makes the training of networks for segmentation challenging, and the datasets are necessarily constrained. In this paper, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model called Dual Path Attention Network (DPA-Net) that has a simple modular structure and can be added to any segmentation model to enhance its ability to learn features. Two types of attention module are appended to the segmentation model, one focusing on spatial information the other focusing upon the channel. Then, the outputs of these two attention modules are fused to further improve the network’s ability to extract features, thus contributing to more precise segmentation results. Finally, data pre-processing and augmentation strategies are used to compensate for the small number of datasets and uneven distribution. The proposed network was tested on the Gaofen Image Dataset (GID). The results show that the network outperformed U-Net, PSP-Net, and DeepLab V3+ in terms of the mean IoU by 0.84%, 2.54%, and 1.32%, respectively.

Remote sensing images and techniques are powerful tools to investigate earth’s surface. Data quality is the key to enhance remote sensing applications and obtaining clear and noise-free set of data is very difficult in most situations due to the varying acquisition (e.g., atmosphere and season), sensor and platform (e.g., satellite angles and sensor characteristics) conditions. With the increasing development of satellites, nowadays Terabytes of remote sensing images can be acquired every day. Therefore, information and data fusion can be particularly important in the remote sensing community. The fusion integrates data from various sources acquired asynchronously for information extraction, analysis, and quality improvement. In this chapter, we aim to discuss the theory of spatiotemporal fusion by investigating previous works, in addition to describing the basic concepts and some of its applications by summarizing our prior and ongoing works.
